Taught my prob theory students "how rednecks count" (1, 2, Dale, 4, 5, 6, 7, Junior, 9, 10...) and now some of my students are using "Dale" as a stand-in on assignments for 3 and I have only myself to blame.

Okay, I think I'm going to have to spend at least a day going through all my books, and I mean ALL of them, including the ones in storage downstairs, and see what I really want to keep. I think it's doable, but it will be: a task, if any Chicago friends want to keep me company/on track about it.

Guess what I got given for Valentine's Day!! Thank you for that huge and horrific pink poop, Gingko! I love you!!!! 💞
I just had to buy a sleeve of Wonder Bread so Gingko can "bulk her diet" and poop out the fancy pink silly putty for building hand strength she ate last night, if you want to know how my Friday the 13th is going so far. (She loved it!!!)

Why are all the US media using words like "revoke" and repeal"? They mean nothing in this context. Why not "refuse to accept", "deny", or "lie about"?
The Trump administration on Thursday will revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the White House announced. https://to.pbs.org/4610Jci
